T.I.: Like that


Like that is a great little promotional single that was released on T.I.’s YouTube channel TIvsTIP way back at the beginning of 2012.  I started listening to it then and I was blown away, however I had been listening to a lot of hardcore rap preceding that at a high volume and with Like that’s explicit lyrics, the explicity of my little Hip hop binge kind of reached a climax and so therefore I stopped listening to Hip hop for a long time because I felt like it needed a break to re-invent itself.  It did that, T.I. and Wiz Khalifa are back like never before.

T.I.: Go get it


Go get it is a sick track. I just finished promoting it by word of mouth and that was fun instead of doing it over the internet. I prefer doing it over the internet because I can be more explicit and it's part of my Blog.  But it's always fun to step it up a bit and bring it to life vocally. That will be my next step when I am done writing; bring my website to life more fully with more content and less talk.

T.I.: The Introduction


The Introduction is a great track. It sets the mood for the rest of the album on which it's from entitled Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head, T.I.'s eighth Studio album. It's a great album and I highly recommend it.  The first track, The Introduction, is not even just an Introduction or interlude, in my opinion.  It is more like a song and I would even go so far as to say that it is.

T.I. featuring Meek Mill: G season


G season is sick.  It features Meek Mill and even though I have no idea who he is; he impresses me none the less.  Also the lines from the song that impress me the most are when T.I. talks about being a terrorist and not being Islamic.  I know some people who would think that that would be the most terrible thing on earth to say.  But I find it rather comical.  Of course I mean that with a grain of salt as I don’t condone that kind of activity, however it’s comical coming from T.I. as he is far from a terrorist.  He is right about one thing though, he’s not Islamic as far as his religion goes.

Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, play hard


Just talking to someone about Wiz Khalifa and his new song; which isn't so new but was included on his recent release that is new. That is none other than o.n.i.f.c. and it was just released in early December of 2012.  That is Wiz Khalifa's fourth Studio album, if you include the previous releases from his former label.  It was interesting talking about as this individual was from Nigeria and even taking that into consideration; he still knew what I was talking about.

Wiz Khalifa: Black and Yellow


The G-mix of Black and Yellow is whack.  I started listening to this version of Black and Yellow about a year ago and I am still listening to it, that’s how good it is.  It features among others, T-pain and Snoop Dogg.  Those are two of my favorite rappers and Wiz Khalifa is the bomb terrorist of course.  That’s just a line from a T.I. song so don’t be alarmed.  T.I. is an amazing rapper as well.

Wiz Khalifa: Roll up


Roll up was released as the second single to Wiz Khalifa’s debut Studio album entitled Rolling Papers.  He released two albums preceding that album but that was before he was signed to a big record label.  Roll up was a pretty good follow-up to the massively successful debut single entitled Black and Yellow but I think anyone can admit that any follow-up to that single would have been overshadowed no matter what.

Madonna: I’m addicted



I just finished listening to I'm addicted and it was pretty exciting.  I'm addicted precedes Turn up the radio on Madonna's new twelfth Studio album, just released this year.  And Turn up theradio was released as the third single from MDNA so I'm addicted precedes a very important song in my mind because Turn up the radio is extremely well-written.  Madonna is currently on tour for her latest album and even though I have yet to see her live, every time she goes on tour, which is very frequently these days, I get closer and closer to going.

Madonna: Superstar


Superstar is a great song.  It appears as track seven and that means something to me because the number seven is perfect in God's eyes and I just so happen to love Him.  Having said that, Superstar is very well-written and I enjoy it thoroughly.  I highly recommend it and so therefore the entire album because it is a small taste of what the entire album is like.  It's far from a dark album and so that's good because some of Madonna's material can be pretty dark, especially through the 90s.

Madonna: Turn up the radio


Turn up the radio is a great song.  I just finished listening to it and it was great.  The Music video is fantastic and I highly recommend it.  I don't know where it was shot but it was a good location and the vibe in the video is amazing.  I am pretty sure it was filmed in Europe but that is just a guess at this point, however a very well-educated guess.  I am very familiar with Europe and its landscape so it's not as though I have no idea what I am talking about.  It's rather exciting actually because I want to move to the European Union so bad and this video just confirms my desire.

Madonna: I’m a sinner



I just finished listening to I'ma Sinner yet again.  It was really great and amazing.  I love the parts where Madonna talks about being a Sinner and when she sings her Hail Marys.  It's really fun and exciting because SaintMary is known in the Catholic Church as the Madonna.  In fact in one of Madonna's songs on her previous album, Pharrell Williams as a featured artist explicitly says the Madonna.  It's pretty funny actually.

Madonna featuring LMFAO & Nicki Minaj: Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Party Rock Remix)



The Party Rock remix of Give me all Your Luvin' is a great remix.  It features one of my favorite groups at the moment, LMFAO.  They are not featured on the original version of this song and so therefore I prefer this remix at times to the original as I think they are very well-produced and since M.I.A. is featured on the original and not the remix, I sometimes prefer that version as I enjoy both of those Musical acts but only one of each are featured on each version of the album I own, which is the Deluxe edition.

Madonna: Girl gone wild


Girl gone wild is a great song.  It’s the first track on Madonna’s most recent album entitled MDNA.  MDNA is a great album and I highly recommend it.  Since Girl gone wild is the first track, the album essentially starts off with a little Prayer and I love that.  It talks about being heartily sorry to God, for having offended Him and I find that hilarious coming from Madonna; since she is obviously in possession of an extremely Holy name in my opinion.  For example, if you Wiki the word Madonna, then you get images such as the Thirteenth century Madonna with Child in the Italo-Byzantine style.

Madonna: Beautiful Killer



Beautiful Killer has not been released as an official single from Madonna's twelfth Studio album, however it's a great song.  It is included on the Deluxe edition of MDNA so therefore it will most likely not be released as a single either since most songs on Deluxe editions of Studio albums are rarely released as singles.  However this song is extremely well-written and should definitely be listened to at least once if you purchase the Deluxe edition of MDNA.  That is most definitely the edition I recommend since the Party Rock remix of Give me all Your Luvin' is also included on that edition.

The Tudors: Season Three, "The Death of a Queen"


I just finished the Fourth Episode of The Tudors from Season Three and it was pretty exciting. Of course I have seen it once before so it wasn't as exciting as then but exciting none the less. This particular episode was entitled "The Death of a Queen" and all I could think of was Madonna, being the Queen of Pop and with the Queen's hair in the show the same color as hers.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, "Paterfamilias"


I just finished the Third Episode of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and it was amazing. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is actually the first television season that I received on Blu-ray Disc and I couldn't be happier. This particular episode was entitled "Paterfamilias" and it featured a character from the previous season, which is actually the Sequel to this season, considering Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is actually the Prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Therefore Spartacus: Gods of the Arena actually takes place preceding the story line found in Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

The Hills: Season Two, "You Have Chosen"


I am watching the Sixth Episode of The Hills from Season Two and it is really exciting. This episode is entitled "You Have Chosen" and it is one of the better ones so far from Season Two and I would even go so far as to say from the entire Series thus far; albeit I am only on Season Two. This particular show is very exciting and I highly recommend it, especially thanks to Heidi Montag.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season Two, "Kardashian Civil War


I just finished the Seventh Episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians from Season Two, entitled “Kardashian Civil War” and it was pretty good. I have seen it before but some things stand out when you watch it again for the second time. Of course I am looking forward to the Fourth Season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians but I might have to wait a while. However I still have three episodes left from Season Three.

The Simple Life 4: ‘Til Death Do Us Part, "The Murrie Family"


I just finished the Sixth Episode of The Simple Life 4: ‘Til Death Do Us Part entitled “The Murrie Family.” It was pretty exciting but having seen it before, it wasn’t as nearly as exciting as it could have been. Not only that but I am trying to watch it on the down low because I am living in a new apartment and do not want to ruffle any feathers with the excitement Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie bring to the table. Let’s just say their Hollywood attitude is a little much for the Conservative crowd I am surrounded by these days.

Legend of the Seeker: Season One, "Mirror"


I just finished the Eighteenth Episode of Legend of the Seeker entitled "Mirror" and it was pretty exciting. I am looking forward to Season Two of Legend of the Seeker as it is more exciting than the First Season, in my opinion. However the Season finale from this season is fast approaching and that is always exciting because that is when the Seeker defeats Darken Raule.

Rome: Season One, "The Spoils"


I finally finished the Eleventh Episode of Rome from Season One entitled “The Spoils.” It was pretty fun and exciting and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I am gifting this series once I am through with it which means I am giving it away to someone worthy as it is completely priceless and most likely the most expensive Series I own on Disc. It was one of the first I received and I actually decided to get the version that comes in some sort of wooden box. It was very expensive and reminds me of a Bible or something.

Tiësto: Elements of Life (Radio edit live from Copenhagen)


The Radio edit of Elements of Life live from Copenhagen is amazing.  Copenhagen is the capital city of Denmark which is a very prominent Member state of the European Union.  Having acceded in 1973, it was one of three to do so at that time being the first expansion after the original six formed the Union. The other Member states that acceded at that time were Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

Tiësto: Traffic


Traffic is sick.  I am listening to it at home for a change which is even more sick.  It reminds me of being out so much and that is one thing that I am most definitely doing immediately following this review of Traffic.  It’s so good that I can’t pass up the opportunity to run around during rush hour traffic on Monday afternoon.  It’s that exciting!

Tiësto: Goldrush


I just finished listening to Goldrush and it was crazy. I love listening to Electronic music while I am walking.  It's crazy because it motivates me to move as though I was never sedentary, even though I was.  I love becoming sedentary and I love becoming the opposite. Of course right now it's the opposite because I love becoming sedentary and I love becoming the opposite. Of course right now it's the opposite because of my life. It was fun but I am looking forward to the rest of my life which includes less sleeping and more activity.

Tiësto: Louder than Boom


Just sitting outside of a store listening to Louder than Boom.  It's pretty exciting actually because it reminds me of my pilgrimage to Mecca through none other than the European Union, those are my plans anyhow.  Tiesto, the DJ who produced this track, Louder than Boom is from the Benelux region of the European Union which is why I say that.  To be more specific, he is from the Netherlands which makes up the "ne" portion of Benelux.

No Doubt featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer: Push and Shove


I just finished watching the Music video for Push and Shove, awaiting the release of the Music video for Looking Hot.  I think that the Music video for Looking Hot will most likely be the best video released from the album Push and Shove but that is most likely because they are getting progressively better with each release.  There may not even be an official single released after Looking Hot so I am not anticipating anything after that.

No Doubt: Looking Hot


I am just watching the live performance of Looking Hot by No Doubt at the iHeart Radio Music Festival from September 21st, 2012 and it’s pretty good.  I prefer their live performance of this song from The Ellen DeGeneres Show but I don’t expect every performance of this song to be amazing.

No Doubt: Settle Down


I just finished listening to Settle Down and it was pretty exciting, considering I have stopped listening to this song and Blogging about it as much as I was.  However, going back and listening to it again is refreshing.  Settle Down is the first track on No Doubt's most recent Studio album, their sixth, entitled Push and Shove.  It was also released as the lead and first official single from that album.

Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, play hard


Work hard, play hard is an amazing track. It was released as the lead single to o.n.i.f.c. which is Wiz Khalifa's second Studio album for all intense purposes. Of course if you count all of them, it's his fourth.  But it is only his second from his current label. The label on which I started to support him, among others.  Therefore his preceding album or the album I call his debut Studio album, is entitled Rolling Papers.

Wiz Khalifa: Black and Yellow


I just finished the original version of Black and Yellow and watching the Music video for the G-mix of that song recently.  Anyhow it was quite interesting.  Wiz Khalifa is an amazing rapper.

T.I.: Like that


I started listening to Like that earlier this year when it was released on T.I.’s official YouTube channel in support of the upcoming album on which it’s from.  That album is Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and although this song, Like that, is not included on the Compact Disc version of this album for example, it is included on the iTunes version of this album.  I bought that one song immediately after buying the entire album on Compact Disc.

T.I.: Go get it


Go get it was released as the lead single to T.I.'s eighth Studio album entitled Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head.  Apparently there is a sequel to this album slated for release in 2013.  That sequel or what have you is entitled Trouble Man II: He who wears the Crown.  I am looking forward to that album as well but for right now it is all about this album and it's a great piece of work.

T.I.: The Introduction


The Introduction is a great track.  It appears as the first track, for obvious reasons, however it’s a great way to lead into one of the best songs on the album G season.  It appears as the first track on T.I.’s eighth Studio album entitled Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head like I said.  Of course I didn’t mention the album’s name and so on, but that goes without saying at this point for me as I have been promoting this album left and right.

T.I. featuring Meek Mill: G season


G season is crazy.  I find it odd that depending on what type of Music I am listening to, usually helps determine the kind of people I attract.  For example, I have been banging out the Hip hop and have seen a lot of Gs.  I like that but I can’t tell if it’s like a worldwide thing where Hip hop is doing good or if I just pay attention to the type of people who I think would listen to this type of Music.

T.I. featuring Big K.R.I.T.: I’m Flexin’


I’m Flexin’ was released in October of 2011 in promotion of Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head, T.I.’s eighth Studio album.  However that album was just released at the end of 2012, that shows you what kind of sporadic release history T.I. has.  But that shouldn’t stop you from supporting him, it just makes it confusing to keep up with him essentially.  I’m Flexin’ is a great track featuring Big K.R.I.T.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe


I am in the middle of the first installment of three so far from The Chronicles of Narnia film series appropriately entitled The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. It’s pretty exciting but I miss watching it in my old apartment where it felt more authentic. It could be perhaps because I am watching it on the cusp of summer, but I watch it last year in the midst of summer and didn’t feel this way. It’s just I had a more witchy neighbor where I lived then who I always envisioned as The White Witch because of her negativity.

I just wrapped up the first installment of The Chronicles of Narnia film series entitled The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and it was very exciting; especially in the end when the credits role as Alanis Morissette performs a song for this Soundtrack. The Plot itself from the rest of the movie is exquisite and I highly recommend this Film series; especially but not limited to the first installment aforementioned above entitled The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I think this film series is an excellent choice for children, but also adults as it has some pretty great lessons in it.

Tron: Legacy


I am watching Tron: Legacy on Blu-ray Disc, but I am doing it for the last time. I am tired of this movie even though it is excellently produced. I just feel as though there is a better method of receiving new material and that is to gift my old material. I have had most of it for years and to be honest with you; I am tired of watching the same Movie over and over, for instance. I think it is like my wardrobe, if I choose to give my old clothes away then I usually receive new ones to compensate for my lack of attire. It’s like out with the old and in with the new.

I finished Tron: Legacy and it was just as I thought, boring as old Movies are. However I have devised a plan. I want to give away all of my movies and either invest in more or get cable connected as I used to have. I have had no Cable since the end of February; it was actually the day after the 84th Academy Awards were on and that was completely orchestrated. I have literally been dying without it but since I invested in a DVD recorder way back in the Recession, I thought I could get away with watching shows I recorded back in February when I had cable. That worked up until now; but I have run out of those particular shows.

The Hills: Season Two, "With Friends Like These…"


I just finished the Seventh Episode of The Hills from Season Two after finishing the Sixth Episode earlier tonight and it was even better than the Sixth. It was entitled “With Friends Like These…” and I must say it was even better than the Sixth Episode and that episode was pretty impressive. I think I am now making way back to Hollywood, figuratively speaking, and that excites me because it means more exciting episodes of this show and shows like this.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Season Two, "Kardashian Family Vacation"


I just finished the Eighth Episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians from Season Two and it was pretty exciting. It is actually starting to inspire me to buy the Fourth Season on DVD from Amazon.com as I just purchased the Third Season of The Hills last night. That was exciting and this particular episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that I am blogging about right now was entitled "Kardashian Family Vacation."

The Simple Life 4: ‘Til Death Do Us Part, "The Contreras Family"


I just finished the Seventh Episode of The Simple Life 4: ‘Til Death Do Us Part entitled “The Contreras Family.” It was pretty exciting but I am looking forward to giving this Series up for something a little more exciting, considering I have seen it numerous times now since 2010. It is a very exciting show, don’t get me wrong, but I feel as though I am holding onto it for the wrong reasons; when I could be buying a new Reality Show featuring either Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie, considering they have both moved on to other projects.

Legend of the Seeker: Season One, "Cursed"


I just finished the Nineteenth Episode of Legend of the Seeker from Season One. It was entitled “Cursed” and it was pretty exciting. There is this character in this show named Shota and she is particularly interesting as she reminds me of someone I know and she is also a very interesting actress. The character she plays on the show is what intrigues me the most however as she is full of magic and one of the most powerful characters on this show. I think it is amazing and hilarious as I believe in magic and she is one the side of good in the show for the most part.

Rome: Season One, "Kalends of February"


I am finally through with the First Season of Rome, the Television series as I am now ready to pass it on to someone worthy of this incredible Television production. I must say I am sad to see it go and I am also sad to have seen this episode again. It is the Season finale of the First Season of Rome and the best episode in my opinion of the series. Unfortunately it sees two of my favorite characters of the series exit but all in all it is one amazing Episode of any Television program in my opinion.

T.I.: Like that


Like That appears on the deluxe version of Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head, available on iTunes only.  However that shouldn't stop you from getting it. For example, I bought the Compact Disc of that album and then went ahead and bought that one song from iTunes after I downloaded the application. But it was completely worth the effort. Of course I would have rather have bought the deluxe version on compact disc but I couldn't find it.

T.I.: Go get it


Go get it is a great single. I was just talking to someone about it and although they seemed a little upset with T.I.'s most recent work, I still thought she would like it considering her style. I am impressed and my style is hardly Gangsta. What I mean by that is I am white and she is not and even though I embrace that community and its Music more importantly; I don't have a huge Hip hop collection. Even though it is pretty big.

T.I. featuring Meek Mill: G season


G season is a great song. It is extremely well-written and I would have to say it's one of T.I.'s best.  I have heard a lot of T.I. material so I know exactly what I am talking about. T.I. is one of the best writers I have ever heard and he executes his rhymes like no other.

T.I. featuring Big K.R.I.T.: I’m Flexin’


I just finished the Music video for I’m Flexin’ since this single was released in promotion of T.I.’s current album entitled Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head and since it was, it was very exciting to listen to and watch.  The Music video is actually really good and is what sells the song for me as opposed to the feel of the song in contrast.  It’s a pretty well-written song, however the video is very well-directed.

Wiz Khalifa: Work hard, play hard


Work hard, Play hard is a pretty amazing song. It was released as the first single to Wiz Khalifa's second Studio album, for all intense purposes, entitled o.n.i.f.c. Of course he released two Studio albums preceding the two I aforementioned above but they essentially went nowhere; therefore I have no recollection of their prospective titles because they are that unmemorable.

Wiz Khalifa: Black and Yellow


I just finished watching the Music video for Black and Yellow, the G-mix.  It was pretty exciting.  I have been listening to and watching this particular remix of the song Black and Yellow and the Music video that accompanies the remix for a while.  Of course I took a long break when I thought that Hip hop was dead.  But I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it wasn’t at the end of 2012.

Ke$ha featuring Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, T.I. & André 3000: Sleazy Remix 2.0 - Get Sleazier


What a difference a year makes.  I just finished listening to the 2.0 remix of Sleazy and it was pretty exciting.  Having said that, getting back to what I previously mentioned.  Ke$ha released her second Studio album at the end of 2012 and even though I had planned on getting it; I neglected to because I was feeling a little uncomfortable doing so.  For example, I bought T.I.’s eighth Studio album instead.  However he is featured as a key artist on this particular remix of Sleazy.
